MOE will be updating schools requiring balloting for phase 2b on Thur.

Actually i tot see the difference in numbers will noe need to ballot or not?

Nope, because you don't know how far each of these applicants stay from the school.

If there are 20 places, and 40 applicants, but of these, 20 apps within 1km, the 20 will get in and the rest don't even have a chance to ballot.

If there are 40 applicants and 21 apps within 1km, only those 21 get to ballot for the 20 spaces.

Looking at the application rate, I would say that this year is also the mildest in terms of competition in Phase 2B. Possibly the schools are well prepared and have been keeping PV numbers down to manageable numbers.

With schools cutting down the PV numbers or not taking PV at all, parents will start to go via GRL route and then the pressure will be with PA

GRL route not easy now, unlike my times, now you need to be confirmed members (GRL) for 2 years, so in total, one would need to join 3 years in advance prior to year of registration to be safe. This is much more commitment than PV route which is 1 year.

I agree with Timtim that GRL is not an easy route. I have tried half a year and I found I cannot keep up with it. I have to acknowledge their contribution to have this priority.

Ya lor... Anyway this year catholic high is not that competitive as last year. 25 applicants <1km ballot for 23 seats. Hope I can be one of those 23 lucky parents.

I gave the sch a call just now. Being informed that if unsuccessful in ballot, can put in wait list but not first come first serve basis. Principal makes the final decision if there is a place available… Sounds weird. Seems like opening back door…

Hi


The school will post the result of the school admission for phase 2B ? Roughly when will we receive it?

I don't think I should name the sch here.
But it's a boys' sch.

Frankly speaking, my backup sch which all along not a popular one, doubled the registration this year too… I fear that if I also can’t get my boy into the 2nd choice, my logistic will go haywire…
